Chapter 17

The man on the other end of the phone was uninterested, but he changed his tune at the mention of Stephanie. His stern looked softened, and he seemed to ponder.

“Who is she with?” Dominick’s voice was cold as he asked.

Vincent raised an eyebrow, surprised Dominick didn’t just hang up on what he thought was trivial possip.

“She just came out of a prenatal checkup and didn’t want to head back to Wellington Villa yet, so she was wandering around. She ran into Claire at the boutique, and things got…heated.”

“Did she get hurt?” Dominick suddenly asked.

Vincent chuckled, “Nah, but those two were at each other’s throats.”

“You better deal with it,” Dominick said. He seemed busy as he abruptly ended the call

Vincent was stunned, wondering what that was supposed to mean.

It sounded like if Stephanie was hurt, it would be his fault!

“Baby, go over there…” Vincent instructed his girlfriend with a few words.
